Wilshire:
ARRGGHHHHHH. Does every books start like that? :/
Somnambulist:
You're beginning to feel it, Wilshire. Only time will tell if you can stick with it. ;)

Lol yeap. You must live it to understand the trial.
Kellais:
Well, technically, not every book. IIRC the last book that introduces a new plotline and new locations is Midnight Tides (book 5), after that you start visiting the old locations and characters and it starts to come together...Erikson begins in book 6 (Bonehunters) to weave all the threads into one big fucking epic thread ;)
But to be honest, it is one of the things i really like about the Malazan books...they are different than all other fantasy books i read in that they paint a picture and do not have a linearly developing story. I found that to be genius. It's a puzzle instead of the classical storyline-thread.
